Hello Open Government Community,

 

The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) wants your ideas to develop a Federal framework, including guidelines and leading practices, for public participation and community engagement (PPCE) activities to help Federal agencies more broadly and meaningfully engage with you and your communities.

 

WHAT:

OMB is seeking feedback through May 17, 2024 on:

1. Experiences of individuals and organizations, including from underserved communities, with participating in Federal Government PPCE activities that inform government decision-making;
2. Content (e.g., methods, approaches, tools, and metrics) to incorporate in a Federal framework for PPCE; and
3. How OMB might continue to pursue a collaborative process to co-develop such a framework with the public.

 

HOW:

• Written feedback can be provided to OMB by responding to an RFI on Methods and Leading Practices for Advancing Public Participation and Community Engagement With the Federal Government *OR* completing a simple online form.
• OMB is also organizing listening sessions to provide feedback on this topic – RSVP information is forthcoming and will be available at performance.gov/participation/.

 

Please feel free to share this call for input with colleagues or others, including those who may be familiar with effective outreach to underserved communities.

 

Sincerely,

GSA Open Government Secretariat
